Fan TV is a product of the Fanhattan startup, which released an app in 2011 that served as a place for finding streaming video. But, as The Verge points out, the app seems to have been a cover for a different project: Fanhattan’s own media-streaming device, the Fan TV.

Rather like the ’80s version of Prince, this tiny set-top box is multi-talented. It streams, allows live and on-demand TV, and has a cloud DVR and a remote that functions by simple taps and swipes. The tech inside the box, says Fanhattan CEO Gilles BianRosa, is similar to something you’d find inside a tablet.

As yet, there’s no deal with any of the cable firms, but Fanhattan is working on putting deals together with pay-TV firms. Once that’s done, you can expect to buy the unit either from Fanhattan directly, or via the cable firms.AD
